News and links, for I'm stuck here for another couple of hours and I'm bored. :D

The biggest Sherlock community, sherlockbbc is on hiatus. The community in itself was great, the users are amazing, and I met so many friends there, but I wasn't the only one who had a problem with the mods' administration, and now they decided to shut everything down for a while. So, for anyone who needs them, here's a bunch of helpful links for all your fandom needs. ^^

On Tumblr
An Army Doctor
Fanfic Recs
Blanket For Your Shock

My personal recs would be my Bookmark Page on AO3, obviously.

And my Tumblr is here, just in case. I think Tumblr isn't a proper instrument for a fandom: it's great to share links and recs, but you can't properly comment and discuss with other users, at least not without spamming everyone, and I'm convinced that should be the core of it. But yes, if you're looking for links and recs, that is definitely the place now.

I'm trying to follow everyone from my f-list on AO3 and tumblr too, but in case I somehow missed you, drop me a line with a link here. ♥

On real life news, nothing much happening, but for Sakura still taking her syrup, and me crossing all fingers that it works because if I have to carry her another time to the vet during the next week she'll just pack her bags and leave. Definitely.

And Game of Thrones keeps getting better and better with every new episode, while making me cry for minor characters I didn't even notice I loved so much until now.

Tomorrow I'm going to visit a couple of friends I haven't seen in months, I'm so happy! We have so many things to talk about, and I missed them a lot! *___________*

Ho letto dello hiatus della community ma,seguendo un pò pochino in questi ultimi mesi,non ho ben capito a cosa sia dovuto,specie visto che la community mi è sempre sembrata un posto abbastanza tranquillo e con utenti diligenti,ma magari mi sbaglio xD peccato però,non mi piacciono certe decisioni prese così :/

[nausicaa83.livejournal.com]

Gli utenti sono adorabili, ma le moderatrici sono sempre state fuori di testa. In più di un'occasione hanno aggredito degli utenti, comportandosi da unici veri arbitri e padroni del fandom. Anche il fatto che nessuno potesse postare senza che ogni entry venisse prima approvata da loro era un pò folle.

A me avevano scassato parecchio i cosidetti quando si erano impuntate a voler inserire "slash" come warning nelle fic. Così come si mettono avvisi per stupri, torture, abusi, si sarebbero dovuti avvisare anche i lettori delle fic che trattavano di omosessualità (e non sto dicendo scene di sesso, intendo proprio il semplice fatto che si parlasse di due uomini che si innamorano). Avevano anche bannato un paio di utenti che si erano giustamente rifiutati di seguire questa stupida regola.

Per quanto mi riguarda, meglio così. Ci sono tante altre community da esplorare, in cui i moderatori sono sani di mente e non se la tirano manco avessero scoperto la cura per il cancro. :D

Thank you for the list of links! I heard others were having problems with the moderators. I don't know why it has to be so hard. I would like to look for other places to read Sherlock fic because I think just shutting it down is ridiculous.

You're welcome! There are so many wonderful communities out there, they deserve all the publicity they can get. *_____*

I had my own problems with the moderators there - first when they insisted to put "slash" in fic warnings and attacked everyone who didn't, and then when they got absolutely batshit crazy with the #believeinsherlock campaign. I'm sure a hiatus would do everyone a world of good. They'll get some rest, which I assume they needed, and we have so many comms to explore. \o/
